" There is background uploading and downloading, allowing the console to update game and system items in the background even if the main power is off. [...] This is enabled by a secondary processor that allows for background work while the main processor is handling gameplay. " Hopefully one day there will be a time sharing multi user environment, then we will no longer need dedicated hardware for updates. Aside from this, I am somewhat undecided if the PS4 could be interesting. The Kinect+Move controller sounds good, if it is implemented well ( and the libraries are anywhere close to the Kinect ones). And the hardware seems to me okay, roughly what one would expect from a new console. On the other hand, I do not see anything like the blue ray drive of the PS3, a really compelling reason why I should get a PS4 instead of an xBox ( or an upgrade to the PC that sits next to my TV).
